A ray of light falls on one face of an equilateral prism at an angle of `40^@` and emerges out at an angole of `37^@` What is the angle of deviation through the prism ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `A = 60^@, i= 40^@, e = 37^@, del = ?`
From `A = del = I + e`
`del = i+ e - A = 40^@ + 37^@ - 60^@ = 17^@`.
